# Steps:
01 -
Sprinkle seasoning salt evenly over both sides of the cube steaks.
02 -
In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour with onion powder and garlic powder; mix well.
03 -
Whisk together beaten eggs and milk in a separate shallow bowl.
04 -
Coat each steak by dipping first into the seasoned flour, then into the egg mixture, and again into the flour. Shake off any excess flour.
05 -
Heat canola oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry steaks for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
06 -
Transfer steaks to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Tent with foil and keep warm while preparing gravy.
07 -
In the same pan with steak drippings, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth and cook briefly to form a roux.
08 -
Slowly whisk in chicken stock and whole milk. Simmer, stirring frequently, until gravy thickens to desired consistency.
09 -
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour gravy over steaks and serve immediately.
# Notes & Tips:

Keep steaks warm in a 200°F oven while preparing the gravy to maintain optimal serving temperature.
